  • Listen in to a bonus episode of the **** Humane audio drama podcast. This week, we're interviewing special guest Louise Jameson, who starred in the radio adaptation of the stage play.


    Louise has been lighting up our screens and stages for fifty years this year. She is perhaps best known for playing as Italian matriarch Rosa Di Marco in TV’s EastEnders, and also starring in Dr Who, Tenko and Bergerac . Louise is also an inveterate activist, championing a range of different issues including prison reform, CND, and better representation of women on screen. There couldn’t be a more perfect person therefore to speak to about the relationship between theatre and social change, acting and activism!


    You can buy tickets for the play at the Pleasance Theatre, which is on until 21 Nov 2021 here: https://www.pleasance.co.uk/event/humane-0#overview

  • The season finale! The protestors are shocked when one of their number dies suddenly. But what really happened? Who is responsible for his death? What secrets lie in hidden in his past? As Alice and Linda, begin to pursue these questions, they realise they don't know each other as well as they thought they did...


    1995: Brightlingsea, a small port in rural Essex.Two women, Alice and Linda, wake up to find lorries thundering through their town, carrying live animals in horrendous conditions for export. Although from very different worlds, the pair unite to try to stop the lorries. They become unlikely friends, facing arrest and police brutality amidst the protests, while also dealing with the pressures of motherhood. When one of their group dies, things start to unravel, as they face the differences between them. Timely and lyrical, Humane is a new six-part audio drama about activism, friendship and motherhood and the values that unite and divide us.


    Starring Marcia Lecky (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Francesca Isherwood (The Worst Witch, The Catherine Tate Show), and Dr Who star, Louise Jameson, this is a timely and urgent story about animal rights, community and the issues that divide and connect us.
